Before her fingers can find the cold grip of a grenade, a form crashes into her—a stranger, all pale skin and dark, silken hair, freckles standing out like stars in the grimy half-light. The girl's eyes are wide, her breath stolen by fear. Over her shoulder, shadows peel from the walls: men with rage-twisted faces, their approach swift and menacing.
